LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 9, 2009--
Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE: HLF), a global nutrition and direct-selling
company, announced that Chairman and CEO Michael O. Johnson has
established a pre-arranged personal stock trading plan to address the
upcoming expiration of certain stock options and for asset allocation
and estate planning purposes. The plan was adopted in accordance with
guidelines specified by Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act,
as well as Herbalife’s policies with respect to sales by officers and
directors.

“The written trading plan will help minimize the market effect of stock
sales by spreading them out over time,” said Johnson. “I intend to
exercise options and sell those number of underlying shares which will
allow me to cover the applicable strike price and taxes, retain one half
of the net proceeds in cash and one half of the net proceeds in
Herbalife stock. I have confidence in the company’s continued growth and
success.”

The purpose of the pre-arranged personal stock trading plan, which was
discussed with and acknowledged by the Herbalife board of directors on
October 29, 2009, is intended to provide Johnson, who receives a
substantial portion of his compensation in the form of equity awards,
with the ability to exercise and sell certain previously granted options
before such options expire in three years. This pre-arranged personal
stock trading plan covers 732,370 shares out of the 2,702,054 total
shares, which, under SEC rules, Johnson beneficially owns, including
stock owned, stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted
stock units.

Rule 10b5-1 permits corporate officers and directors to adopt written,
pre-arranged stock trading plans when they do not possess material
non-public information regarding the company. Transactions under this
plan will be disclosed publicly through Form 144 and Form 4 filings as
required by the SEC.
